Tech Workshops are designed for anyone, young or old, who has technology related questions or problems. We answer questions openly and encourage hands-on practical experience. Typically people bring in their laptop, computer, cell phone, smartphone, or tablet and we answer question directly relating to participants’ needs. Tuesdays 10:00 AM -6:00 PM in the downstairs auditorium. Update: we will be available from 10 AM – 6 PM

Our Level readers (easy readers) have been re-cataloged and re-organized into 8 distinct groups base on how difficult they are to read. Level 0 for the easiest books all the way up to level 5+, some of which are almost like chapter books! Let us know if this is beneficial to your browsing experience. We’ve already gotten some positive feedback about it 🙂
